The other problem is that even the big fish can’t ignore Bayless’ shiny lure, as we’ve already seen Chad Johnson “debate” Bayless and Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban “own” him. It’s just too bad that even when Bayless is being “owned”, he wins because people tuned in. Ultimately, we can only stop Bayless by completely ignoring him, and that’s not going to happen anytime soon, thanks to Kevin Durant being his latest mark.

Yesterday, for no good reason other than he’s a dick, Bayless started Tweeting about Durant’s friendship with LeBron James and how that’s only making the Chosen One stronger. But it was cool, because Bayless was lacing his Tweets with the back-handed compliment of “My fave player”. That didn’t stop Durant from opening the floodgates with this Tweet.

I love how guys like SAS or Jay Crawford will preface Skip’s bullshit by saying “He’s saying what he believes!” Oh cool, he actually believes his own bullshit! That just proves he’s an egotistical fucktwat. He acts like he’s an authority on everything to do with sports when you can tell he stopped paying close attention years ago (except when it comes to Lebron, the Cowboys, or Tebow). I stopped paying attention to this ass a while ago and I’m happier for it.

It’s actually worse. There’s some kind of deceitful cunning about what he does if he’s self aware. If he’s completely unaware that he’s being a fucknugget for the sake of ratings, that’s just sad, sad stupidity.

Yes, Skip is outright right, or at least makes very good points, about 80% of the time, but he’s always an incredible douchenozzle about it. I hate that he’s such an instigating ass, because he obfuscates his own high rate of truth-speaking, and people don’t take it anything as seriously as they should when it comes out of his mouth, or twitter or whatever.

No, he isn’t right. His de facto reasoning of “he owns you” is the same stupid bullshit fans and reporters have been spewing forever so we can convince ourselves we have the slightest clue what is going on with these guys.

Look at when Cuban vivisected Bayliss earlier this year live on the air. He actually came at Bayliss with analysis and mentioned things like defensive schemes and physical match ups. Shit that should be plain for all of us to see, not to mention a guy who supposedly gets paid to discuss sports.

Bayliss spouts stupid, empty, and frequently debunked cliches. Look at what he’s doing. He’s practically begging for a guest on his show. He sounds like a 5 year old daring an older kid to give him what he wants.
